Excellent question and forum. I can 100% clear this up. I am an avid diver. I am also a physician, and studied physics prior to med school (that’s my background). HERE ARE SOME GIVEN FACTS: 1. The dive tank doesn’t deform—the pressure inside the tank is the same regardless of...
PubMed 6146810 ❐ This classic, elegant experiment found no connection between leg length and back pain. Like most of the really good science experiments, it has that MythBusters attitude: “why don’t we just check that assumption?” Researchers measured leg lengths, looking for differences ...
In order for a system to be ‘well-mixed’ it is reasonable to require that the sets of neighbours at the time of an event are uncorrelated from those at earlier events. If this is not the case, the system has not been ‘mixed’ between the two events. We illustrate this in Fig. ...
In mixed conifer forests, post-fire recovery outcomes can vary widely based on burn severity, species composition, climate, and topography. Accordingly, when identifying priority sites for active post-fire management projects, it is essential to account for the variability of post-fire recovery outcom...
In recent weeks and months, I have been thinking quite a lot about the various types of scientists. This is partly due to me finishing a book entitled: Bizarre Medical Ideas: ... and the Strange Men Who Invented Them. Partly it is related to the sorry ta
Entry into the medical programme at the International Medical University (IMU) requires students to have three of the four science subjects (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics) at the pre-university level. The aim of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between taking biol...

The world population is getting older and, as a result, the number of older victims of crime is expected to increase. It is therefore essential to understand how ageing affects eyewitness identification, so procedures can be developed that enable victims
